Niles, IL--I am pleased to announce that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) will travel to the 9th district to join our campaign at a very special event on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at the Four Seasons Hotel Ballroom in Chicago.

Mr. Ryan is the ranking Republican on the House budget committee, and authored the "Road Map for America's future," a bold new plan to restore our financial health.

Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard said: "If Republicans adopt [Paul Ryan's] road map as their basic ideological blueprint, it offers them the prospect of a landslide in the midterm election this year, followed by victory in the presidential election in 2012."

I am a great admirer of Mr. Ryan, and will follow his example as a young leader in the next Congress. His participation is a tremendous show of confidence in our campaign.
